kshitijk4poor 2cd952e110 feat(stt): add register_transcription_provider() plugin hook
Add an opt-in Python plugin surface for speech-to-text backends,
mirroring the TTS hook pattern. New backends (OpenRouter, SenseAudio,
Gemini-STT, custom proprietary engines) can be implemented as plugins
without modifying tools/transcription_tools.py.

Built-ins always win
--------------------
The 6 built-in STT providers (local/faster-whisper, local_command,
groq, openai, mistral, xai) keep their native handlers. Plugins
attempting to register under a built-in name are rejected at
registration time with a warning and re-checked defensively at
dispatch.

Resolution order
----------------
1. stt.provider matches a built-in → built-in dispatch (unchanged)
2. stt.provider matches a registered plugin →
   a. if plugin.is_available() returns False → unavailability envelope
      identifying the plugin (not the generic "No STT provider"
      message — the user explicitly opted into this plugin)
   b. otherwise plugin.transcribe() with model + language forwarded
      from stt.<provider>.{model,language} config
3. No match → legacy "No STT provider available" error (unchanged)

Per-provider config namespace
-----------------------------
Plugins read their config from stt.<provider> in config.yaml, mirroring
how built-ins read stt.openai.model / stt.mistral.model. The dispatcher
forwards `model` and `language` from this section. Caller's explicit
`model=` argument overrides the config-set model.

Behavior parity
---------------
10 scenarios, 8 OK + 2 expected DIFFs:
  no_provider_error → plugin (plugin-installed scenario)
  no_provider_error → plugin_unavailable (plugin-installed-unavailable
  scenario; PR returns cleaner envelope)
Zero behavior change for users not opting into a plugin.

Issue follow-up to #30398.

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Installation

yarn

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.

Diagram Linting

CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
